Forage-based diets on dairy farms produce nutritionally enhanced milk

Forage-based diets on dairy farms produce nutritionally enhanced milk Researchers have found that cows fed a 100 percent organic grass and legume-based diet produce milk with elevated levels of omega-3 and CLA, and thus provides a markedly healthier balance of fatty acids. The improved fatty acid profile in grass-fed organic milk and dairy products (hereafter, 'grassmilk') brings the omega-6/omega-3 ratio to a near 1 to 1, compared to 5.7 to 1 in conventional whole milk. http://ift.tt/eA8V8J
